A plastics pipe which comprises an inner core and an outer removable skin layer bonded thereto, the outer removable skin layer comprising a polymeric material, chosen for its physical and mechanical properties, and an adhesion-modifying additive, the adhesion-modifying additive being present in the skin layer in an amount such that the adhesion of the skin layer to the inner core is sufficient to prevent substantial undesired relative movement between the skin layer and the core during installation, but insufficient to prevent the outer skin layer from being cleanly removed by peeling, at least at the ends of the pipe, and insufficient to cause a substantial reduction in the impact strength of the inner core.

Plastics pipe

A plastics pipe provided with engageable fastener elements on an outer surface thereof, a method for manufacturing the pipe, and a fastener system comprising inter-engageable fastener elements on an outer surface of a pipe and a support therefore.
